Established in 1988 with the mission of advocating the inclusion of historically marginalised photographic practices, Autograph ABP is a charity that works internationally in photography and film, cultural identity, race, representation and human rights.
We produce our own programme of exhibitions and events, commissions and publications. We collaborate with artists, scholars and institutions nationally and internationally with the aim of engaging audiences around the world.
Our Archive & Research Centre was established to addresses a gap in the visual representation of Britain’s cultural history and its diverse communities.
We commercially license the photography championed through our Image Bank, and advocate progressive research of our continuously growing collection and living archive.
We encourage cross-curricular teaching and advocate visual literacy through our accessible Learning Resources
We preserve the legacy of artists’ work through a range of publications and limited edition prints available in our Shop to explore
We support the production of new work through our commissions and residency programmes
